NFL Decides at League Meeting That It Will Not Require Players to Stand for National Anthem

It will merely suggest that they do so.

Don Surber discusses the NFL's cash cow drying up, and links this great Victor Davis Hansen article about our failing institutions of civic unity (the media, the NFL, etc.), which contribute to the nation's rush into total dissolution.

Which, at this point, in my opinion, is as inevitable as it is welcome.

The public is turning the channel on what used to be the markers of its weekly existence.

Slowly and by hit and miss, Americans are learning that they do not need to go to a theater to see another Harvey Weinstein movie; or watch network news or read traditional journalism; or, on NFL Sunday, see more zillionaires in their luxury boxes above grow giddy as their employees below score, only to see a showboating player kneel on all fours to mimic a urinating dog, which is apparently less offensive than standing for the national anthem.

We have no common values, and we increasingly have no common culture. Progressives spearhead efforts to remove a common language.

With nothing left in common, how are the states united in anything but name?

Call an Article 5 convention, enact an amendment permitting secession, and let two or three or four young and vital New Americas bloom out of the dead stump of the old one.
